NMC Director, Deborah Turnbull, was invited by the Family and Community Experiences department at the Powerhouse Museum to induct 60 architecture student volunteers across 5 Sydney Universities to the Oikodome: Building Architects Programme.

​

In collaboration with Education Officers, Deborah collated educational materials, trained and supervised the students on-site, and worked with Volunteer Co-ordination and FACE to document and utilise the programme for like projects in the future.

​

The general public was invited as per below:

"Calling all budding engineers, builders and architects: these school holidays we are exploring the science of architecture! Inspired by the building works underway at the Museum, young visitors and their families are invited to create a cubbyhouse out of cardboard tubes and foam nodes. Be helped by the experts: architecture student volunteers, across all Sydney campuses, will be on hand to inspire and engage you in the construction of your designs."
